021 * Tag a test as 'integration/system' test, meaning that the test class has the following
022 * characteristics:
023 * <ul>
024 * <li>Possibly takes hours to complete</li>
025 * <li>Can be run on a mini cluster or an actual cluster</li>
026 * <li>Can make changes to the given cluster (starting stopping daemons, etc)</li>
027 * <li>Should not be run in parallel of other integration tests</li>
028 * </ul>
029 * Integration / System tests should have a class name starting with "IntegrationTest", and should
030 * be annotated with @Category(IntegrationTests.class). Integration tests can be run using the
031 * IntegrationTestsDriver class or from mvn verify.
